Farm, Garden and Household. How to Avoid a Cold. This is a senaou of the year when colds most prevail, nnd the following interesting item on the subject is given for the benefit of those who desire to avoid catching cold : " If a cold settles on the outer cover ings of the lungs it becomes pneumo nia, inflnmmation of the lungs, or lung fever, and in many cases carries the strongest man to the grave within a week. If cold fall upon the inner cov ering of the lungs, it is pleurisy with the knife-like pains, and its slow, very slow recoveries. If a cold settles in the joints there is rheumutism, with the agonies of pain, and rhenmatism of the heart, which, in an instant snaps assundcr the cords of life with no friendly warning. It is of the utmost importance, then, in the wintry weath er, to know not so much how to cure a cold as to avoid it. Colds always come from one cause some parts of the body being colder than natural for a time. If a person will keep his feet warm always, and never allow himself or herself to be chilled, ho or she will never take cold in a lifetime, and this can only lie accomplished by due care in warm clothing and avoidance of draft and ex posure. While multitudes of colds come from cold feet, perhaps the ma jority arise from cooling off too quickly after becoming a little warmer than is natural from exercise or work, or from confinement to a warm apartment. Wlulcr Care of Shcel. Winter is a critical time with sheep. The greatest clanger is in too much care and coddling. If well fed with good clover hay and with plenty of water to arniK, an open slieil with an uncovered drv yard attached, is better than any stable, or tight, close shed. Warmth is more injurious than cold, and sheep may safely be trusted to ex ercise their instincts in seekinc; shelter. It is well to divide the flock, and if it numbers as many as ntty, to make three divisions : rams, wethers, and ram lambs in one flock, ewes in lamb in another, and tender ewes and ewe lambs inanother. As changes may be seen desirable, they should be made, and the feed should be apportioned accord ing to the necessities of each flock. As soon as a sheep appears to be ailing it should be removed from the flock, and if any cough or lung disease is per ceived, a tablespoonful of turpentine should be administered as a remedy against the lung worm. Salt should be given in abundance, and oats, rye, or buckwheat, or wheat bran, but not much corn, especially to sheep that are in poor condition. Men From t lie I'm (Us on the Km in. Some time ago, says the Hural New Yorkrr,ye advised farmers to give men work. It seems that some parts of the country nre tilling up with men from the trades seeking work to do. The cities and large manufacturing centres have overflowed their unemployed pop ulations into the small country towns. Many of these men will not work on a farm will not offer to do so. Some of them, however, are seeking work on the farms, and prove to be good farm hands. They are methodical and ex act in their work. One farmer writes us, however, that some of those whom he employed are not worth their board they retain their city notions in re gard to the number of hours that con stitute a day's work, nnd adhere to them, even if they are turned out of doors. Many of these men are good mechanics, and can be utilized in re pairing and fitting up buildings, .to. The wide-awake farmer will take ad vantage of this superaboundiug labor to get such odd jobs done ; and he could benefit many worthy men by so doing. Itei'plns; Poultry to l-'.urith 1, mills. Col. Waring,in his " Elements of Ag riculture," says: Toultry dung is near ly equal in value to 1'eruvian guano (except that it contains more water). If granted that a lien will consume of the uulereiit kinds of gram, meat, and ves- tables, during the year, the equivalent of two bushels of corn which weigh 120 pounds, then it is certainly low enough to place the excrement the result of the digestion of these two bushels as equivalent to fifteen pounds of guano. As the manure from 100 fowls, during a year, would amount to 1,500 pounds of guano, taking the above supposition as ut least safe; and as 300 pounds is ordi narily sufficient for an acre of corn, it will be seen that the manure from 100 fowls will make compost enough for five acres. The experiment has been tried by the writer, of applying to one acre of corn in the hill, the manure of 20 hens one yenr.mixed with swamp muck, in the proportion of one part hen ma nure and three parts muck, and the re sult was a better crop than upon an adjoining acre enriched, for sake of ex periment, with a fair ordinary dressing of stable manure. How to Make a muhtaril Plaster. How many people are there who really know how to make a mustard plaster ? Not one in a hundred, and yet physi cians prescribe their application, never telling anybody how to make them, for the simple reason that the doctors them selveB do not know, as a rule. The or dinary way is to mix the mustard with water, tempering jt with a little flour, but such a plaster as that makes is simply abominable. Before it has half done its work it begins to blister the patient, and leaves him finally with a painful, flayed spot, after liuving pro duced far less efl'ect in a benefieiul way than was intended. Now a mustard plaster should never make a blister at all. When you make a mustard plas ter, then, use no water whatever, but mix the mustard with the white of an egg, and the result will be a plaster that will " draw " perfectly, but M ill not produce a blister, even upon the skin of an infant, no matter now long it is al lowed to remain upon the part. Don't Fret- Some people are too fat, some too lean: in their own opinion. Now, it's foolish to fret over trifles like these : rest assured that Nature manages every' thing for the best. If a man is fat or lean and feeis well, having all the bodily functions acting regularly, with sound sleep, and no discomfort efter estiner. he should by all means lei mm self alone. Must persons want to have a little moie flet.li: want to weigh more; a few want to weigh less. Some, in the effort to increase their weight, have eaten by rule, and reason instead of be ing guided by their instinct, have ao aomplished their object, with the ad' dition of some chronio disease. Others, being too bulky for their pride, have paid for their tastidiousness Dy Dring' ing on incurable maladies, as a result of the too iree use oi vinegar, or oy eneW' inc tea. In several cases, Bright's dis ease of the kidneys has set in and de stroyed life. Perhaps the safest way to get lean is to work hard, and live mainly on fruits, bread and butter, ber ries, tomatoes, melons, ana tne uue, using meats and vegetables only at din ner-time. The Emotions. Professor Tyndall, while in this couul try last year, visited the Falls of Niag ara, when, reaching the Cave of the Winds by descending Kiddle s stairs. he conceived the idea of attempting to pass under the blue waters of Horse Shoe Falls from that point. lie found a guide who was willing to make the attempt with him, and together, the next day, they passed through the mist and foam' of the roaring cataract, readied the desired point, and returned in safety. In describing his emotions at one point in his perilous journey, he remarks as follows: " Here my guide sheltered me again. and desired me to look up; I did bo, and conld see, as before, the green gleam of the mighty curve sweeeping over the upper ledge, and the fitful plunge of the water as the spray between ns and it alternately gathered and disappeared. An eminent friend of mine often speaks to me of the mistakeof those physicians who regard man's ailments as purely chemical, to bo met by chemical reme dies only. He contends for the psycho logical element or cure. By agreeable emotions, he says, nervous currents are liberated which stimulate blood, brain, and viscera. The influence rained from ladies' eyes enables my friend to thrive on dishes which would kill him if eaten alone. A sanative efl'ect of the same order I experienced amid the spray nnd thunder of Niagara. Quick ened by the emotions there aroused, the blood sped healthily through the ar teries, abolishing introspection, clear ing the heart of all bitterness, and en abling one to think with tolerance, if not with tenderness, of the most relent less aud unreasonable foe. Apart from its scientific value, aud purely as a moral agent, the play, I submit, is worth the caudle. My companion know no more of me than that I enjoyed the wilduess; but as I bent in the shelter of his large frame, he said, I should like to see yon attempting to describe all this.' He rightly thought it indescribable." There is, in this graphic statement of the eminent saran, a hint at some truths which, physiologically consid ered, may be of supreme importance. iiy agreeable emotions, nervous cur rents are liberated which stimulate blood, brain, aud viscera." The "emo tions " of every living person are un questionably of more importance to his health, happiness, and well being tliau most physicians suppose. Agreeable emotions are curative in theirinflnence, wlieu coming to the relief of suffering invalids. Disagreeable emotions pro duce disease in individuals who, unin fluenced by them, would be in sound health. A dyspeptic who, at his own table, under the influence of depressing emotions, is unable to partake of an ounce of food without subsequent dis tress and pain, is able, at the table of a friend, under different circumstances, to eat a hearty meal without discomfort. It is a mistake to regard most diseases as resulting from chemical derange ments of the system, and it is a mistake to meet a majority of diseases with chemical remedies. Wo have known physicians who exerted a moral influ ence over their patients, which gave them a success more gratifyiugaud pos itive than ever resulted from the admin istration of any drug. The mind in its connection with the body exerts a con trolling iuflueuce; and one of the great secrets in regard to securing health and longevity is to train the emotions so as to keep them out of the cloud which hangs ever ready to darken our mental and moral horizon. Boston Journal of Ctcmistri, City Miseries, The ta ifornia Horse. The true Caliioruia horse or mustang is still a most wonderful animal. The genuine blood performed in the early history of this State astonishing feacts of traveling aud fatigue. There is a well authenticated account of a journey accomplished by some of them from Los Angeles to Monterey and back, making 810 miles, the party having actually nut one relay of lresh horses, the time on the road being only 76 hours in which this traveling was performed. The path through the entire route lay through a wild broken country, over nlges, down gorges, around bliitls. and through gloomy defiles, where a trav eler, unused to these mountains, would often deem even the slow trot impracti cable, but this was done under n hard gallop. It could not in the time bo ac complished iu any other gate. The only tood which these horses had. except a few quarts of barley at one place, was the grass on the road, though the com pletely trained and most domesticated of these horses will eat and drink almost everything which the master uses. They will take from hig caressing hand, bread, fruits, sugar, coffee, and, like the rersian horse, will not reluse a bumper of wine. They obey with the gentlest docility his slightest intimation ; the saddle, will spring him into instant ac tion, while the check ot a thread-rein on the 'Spanish bit will bring them to a dead stand ; and yet in these sudden stops, when riding at the top of their speed, they manage not to jostle their rider, or throw him forward. They go where their master directs, whether it be a leap over a fence or up a flight of stairs, or over a chasm. They are all grace, fleetness, muscle and fire : gentle as the lamb, lively as the antelope, and fearless as the lion. A Hungry Man. In Liverpool a man about forty-five years of age was observed to snatch up several iron "coal-savers which were exposed at the shop door of an iron monger, whose premises are next to those occupied by Mr. Wood, a noted jeweler. He then stepped in front of Mr. Wood s Bbop, and, with a request to some persons who were passing that they would stand aside, he threw the "coal savers" through the window. The crash thus occasioned by the fall of these iron articles amidst the glass shelves of a jew.eler's shop attracted immediate attention, aud the man was at once seized. In explanation of his oonduct he said that he was starving, that he had been refused admission to one of the workhouses, and that as he could obtain no relief he wished to get into jail. He was then given into cus tody. Panic Talk. A scrap of conversation in this wise was overheard in a store : " How's business ?" " Dull I Awfully dull 1" " Doing any advertising?" "No : took 'em all out a month ago, " How long since business got dull ?' " U, three or tour weeks ago." " That is about the time you stopped advertising." (Merchant ruminates and publisher looks innocent.) A wealthy Buffalo widow lady of sixty has just married her own widowed son-in-law of thirty-five, and as there are children on both sides, pen-:; r.ie now trying to study or tL- jwly-establish ea relationship. On a small ungraded street or alley, in an old house, a child a few days since was lying sick of the measles, with no comforts about it. A good lady, whose heart ever beats for others, gave a friend jellies, and lemons, and good advice for the child, and with these he made his visitations on the sick. Three pretty but dirty children were playing at the door. The fourth was found within, lying on a bed, the coarse drilling sheets of which were ab solutely grimy with dirt. A broken chair, a tin washbasin, and a rickety table completed the furniture. Xho adjoining room was no better supplied with furniture, excepting a rusty stove, and a few pots and cracked cups which occupied the tabic. The rough, un covered floors were thick with black dirt ; the windows, innocent of shades, showed broken panes of glass ; cob webs hung from the smoke-stained ceil ings, and from the wide cracks in tho plastered walls repulsive insects crept in and out without fear of molestation. The comfortless, desolate air of the es tablishment cannot be pictured in words. The mother came a blear-eyed wo man with dropsical cheeks and a scar on her face, such as might havo come from falling over a hot stove. Her feet were bare ; her hair tangled and tin cared for ; the one loose garment she wore was draggled, dirty, and hung in rags from her round shoulders. The expression of her face was repulsive, yet pitiful. There was nothing of the woman lel'f in that face, except when she spoke of her sick child. " I have not slept for two nights," she said ; " and I have no money to buy medi cines or luxuries for my poor baby. You are the first mortal who has offered to do anything for me and mine." The visitor delivered his little parcel, and asked concerning the child's symp toms, promising to consult a physician, and giving such meagre advice as his little knowledge of the disease warrant ed him in offering. " She is very sick I think she will die." said the woman ; and then, in a harsh, loud voice, and with a vicious, cat-like energy of gesture, she added : " If she does die, I'll murder him 1 " Sick at heart, the visitor left the place, followed by a sullen " thank yon," than which no acknowledgement at all would heve l-eeu more acceptable. Next day he came again, bringing medicines. The woman was seated sideways in n chair, asleep, her head drooping over its back. The husband was there, puttering over the stove a dreadfully repulsive wretch bull-headed, low brow, dull small eye, cheeks aud chin red with unseemly scars, not from kmte or pistol, lie took the sun pie remedies which a good-natured doc tor had prescribed for the child, but seemed ill-pleased at the intrusion. Was the child better ? Yes. the child was better. But, ill what a voice he made his reply ! harsh, grating, cruel, beastly the words half articulated, as if the organs of speech had been man gled aud bruised out of shape, and left almost useless ; the voice, one which could be identified on the darkest night if ever heard before, so uahumanlike was it. tf ladly the visitor turned to go. Tho woman, roused from her sleep, looked stupidly at him, and the fumes of stale spirits saluted him as ho passed her. Just without the door, the three children were endeavoring to amuse themselves with a few bits of broken crockery and an empty bottle, playing "party. Low people, these ? Yes. But not always low. Each, the man and the woman, is well connected. Each had the benefits of schools and society. He preferred the society of the vicious, aud from a gamester turned to be a pro fessional gambler. By night he fleeced fools, and by day lounged on street cor ners, extravagantly dressed, ogling women and pulling cigar smoke m their laces. 15 v and by he met this woman then a pretty, foolish girl, her head full of romantic notions gathered from silly love stories a head so ill set that a swaggering valet in broadcloth and dia moud studs conld turn it m a mament until it would become dizzy with de light. He married the girl she htteen, he old enough to know better. While the fancy was fresh, they agreed ; when the faucy waned, he neglected her, and she, though she cared no longer lor him, was piqued. They quarreled, of course. Children had come to them, yet these did not render their lives more pleasant. From neglect to abuse was an easy transition. Then came the man's curse. He reaped a sad harvest from the seeds he, sowed through life a harvest of paintul. disgusting sick ness, from which he arose an object so repulsive that even his old associates ignored mm, and the victims he longed lor avotded him as they would a pes tilence. What next ? Poverty, drunkenness. demoralization. Down, down they went, each day sinking lower, finding in whisky a wild, vicious comfort, which, each time it was indulged in, turned them into fighting beasts. But, through every disaster, the woman clung to her children. When sober, she cared for them as well as she could. The miserable place in which the visitor had found them she had rented, he, friends allowing her a few dollars a week to keep soul and body together. The man hung round her, although she cursed him, and lived off the food she bought with the little money she did not spend in drink. Each day the dis graceful scenes which were enacted be came more dreadful. In the early morning the neighbors would be awak ened by shrieks, yells, and loud blas phemiug, Ona of the two would hava come home, crazy drunk, to find the door barred. Stones to the windows ; billets of wood to burst in the door I A crash, a dreadful yell, two crazy voices raised in blasphemous revilings; a struggle, a blow, the dull thud of a fallen human form, and the shriek, " Murder ! murder 1 ' while the trem bling, frightened children hide their poor little keaus under the Diankets, and repress their sobs until drunken snoriugs tell them that their brutal pareniB are past doing each other harm uniu me sunlight comes to awaken them to renewed nuarrels. What will you do, Chaistiau people ? I it fit that these people should remain under such influences? Are the souls of industrious Japanese and South Sea Islanders, happy in their ignorance, more valuable than the souls of these infants, that we should sing missionary hvmns and rejoice in the conversion of useless Fiiians at a cost of a thousand dollars per lousy head ? With hun dreds of such families in our midst how can we play the Pharisee in our soft-cushioned pews o Sunday? What pity that somebody does not aid these wretched creatures ! Perhaps some one will go to them and assist them some one whose curiosity has been excited, and who longs to know the end of the tragedy. Messieurs et Mesdames 1 you must discover the end for yourselves, I cannot tell it to you ; I have told you all I know of the story. I have given you all the play except one scene. It is short : Two strong men are dragging a drunken, shrieking, cursing woman through the street toward the station house, and a score of ragged, vagrant children follow, jeering and laughing at the woman's struggles. San Fran Cisco Morning Call. Tho Strange Story of a Poacher. In the Bavarian mountains, neer Par tenkirchen, the traveler often meets a young woman with hollow cheeks and wild eyes, whose rich blonde hair floats loosely around her head. She does not attempt to injure any one, but flees be fore every wayfarer. A few years ago she was the brightest and prettiest young girl in the mountain district. She became the bride of Joseph Falk ner, a stalwart young fellow. In time their union was blessed with two chil dren, yet she could not prevail upon her husband to abandon a poacher's ex istance. One night when he had gone out with his rifle on his shoulder on a marauding excursion, he was followed by a party of forest keepers who sought to capture him. One of them who had ventured too near was shot by Falkner, and the others took to flight. Falkner hovered around the village after this occurrence and in a few days was joined by his wife and children. 1 he police and foresters now began to hunt vigor ously for the outlaw. lalkner started for the Austrian border, carrying his four-year old boy with one hand and supporting his wife, Anne Maria, with the other. one car ried the youngest child iu her arms. One evening during their flight as they were resting in the forest, the quick ear of Falkner detected the sound of horses' hoofs upon the roadway which led by the copse in which they were concealed. ills wile and children were sleeping. He touched Maria s arm, " Iho gen darmes," he said. She awoke and her allnghted movement roused the sleep ing infant on her bosom. The child be gan to cry and the efforts of the mother to quiet it by pressing it to her bosom only caused it to ery the louder. The gendarmes had halted aud were listen ing. Falkner snatched the intant from its mother's arms and placed his hand over the little mouth. For ten minutes the pursuers halted by the roadside, for ten minutes the father's firm hand suppressed the sobbing of the child. At length the gendarmes rode on, and the mother sought with her warm lips to infuse lite into tiie pale ones ot her baby. In vain, ths child was dead. 1 alkner cried " On : he put ln.s boy on his back and Maria followed with the little corpse. At daybreak the border was reached. They encountered an em ployee of the Austrian Customs "Have you anything to give up I he asked. .Nothing, said lalkner, quiouy. His wife, however, stepping forward showed the dead child whom she had carried in her apron, aud said : " I have some one to hand over, lor t!i:s man is a murder er. He has killed his own son. lalk ner was arrested and he is now in prison. His elder boy has lound a friend and protector in the Tyrol. Maria lost her reason, and either sits motionless in her room, or wanders on the mountains anil through the forest. She takes but little nourishment and will soon die. The Influence of Newspapers. The Boston Traveler states that a sohool teacher who had enjoyed the benefit ot a long praotioe of his profes sion, and had watched closely the in fluence of a newspaper upon the minds of a f timily of ohillren, fcives as a result of his observation that without excep tion those scholars of both sexes rnd all ages who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who have not, are : 1. Better readers, excel lng iu pronounciation, and consequently read more nnderstandingly. 2. They are better spellers, and define words with ease and accuracy. 3. They ob tain a partial knowledges of geography in almost half the time it requires others, as the newspaper has made them familiar with the location oi im portant places and nations, their gov prnments and domes. 4. They are bet- for having become familiar with every variety of style in the newspaper, from commonplace ad vertisements to the finished a id clas sical oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, and consequently analyze its contents with accuracy.

He is their only beast of burden, and is generally employed in drawing materials in a sledge over the boundless nnd dreary deserts o snow, where tho cold is bo intense that no other domestic animal, except the reindeer, could exist, and bear the hard ships this animal is called upon to un dergo. They are generally fed once a a day at night, their allowance buing a dried fish weighing perhaps two pounds. The sledge to which they are harnessed is about ten feet in length and two feet in width, made with sea soned birch timber, and combines, to a suprising degree, the qualities of strength and lightness. It is simply a skeleton framework fastened together with lashings of dried seal skiu, and mounted on broad curved runners. No iron whatever is used in the construc tion, nnd it does not weigh more than twenty pounds ; yet it will sustain a load of four of five hundred pounds. and endure the severest shocks of rough mountain travel, occasionally rendered more than ordinarily Bevere by the erratic behavior of the dogs, who some times, should a deer or fox cross their route, cannot overcome their wolfish propensities, but give chase in n most determined manner, heedless alike of the driver's shouts and the loaded team behind them, dragging the sledge and its contents ut lightning-speed over bluffs, and down steep inclines often not being brought to a stand still until submerged several feet in snowdrift. The driver of a dog-team carries no whip, but has, instead, thick Btick with a spiked point, which is used to check the speed of the sledge in descending lulls. Tho unmber of dogs harnessed to the sledges varies from seven to fifteen, according to the nature of the country to be traversed, and the weight of tho load. Under favorable circumstances, eleven dogs will make from forty to fifty miles e day with a man and a load of four hun dred pounds. They are harnessed to the sledge in successive couples, by a long central thong of seal-skin, to which each dog is attached by a collar and a short trace. They are guided aud controlled entirely by the voice and by a leader-dog, who is especially train ed for the purpose. Old Letters. Never burn kindly written letters; it is so pleasant to read them over when the ink is brown, the paper is yellow with age. and the hands that traced the friendly words are folded over the heaits that prompted them, under the green sod. Above all never burn love letters. To read them in after years is like a resurrection of one's youth. The elderly spinster finds, iu the impas sioned offer she foolishly rejected twen ty years ago, a fountain of rejuvenes cence. Glancing over it, she realizes that she was once a belle and a beauty, and beholds her former self in a mirror much more congenial to her tastes than the one that c onfronts her in her dressing-room. The " widow indeed " de rives a sweet and solemn consolation from the letU rs of the beloved one who has journeyed I efore her to the far-off land, from wluoli there comes no ines- sage, and wlure she hopes one aay to join him. N i nhotooraphs can so viv idly recall to 'he memory of the mother me tenuernet. and devotion of the chil dren who haveieft at the callof Heaven, as the episti lary ontnonrinffs of their love. The letter of a trnA nnn or daugh ter to a true mother ia something better than an image of the features it is a reflex of the writer's soul. Keep all loving letters: burn only the harsh onp and in burning them, forgive and for get them, Will Wonders Never Cease t When Dr. Walker proclaimed that he had produced from the medicinal herbs of California an imxir that would re' generate tiie sinking system and cure very form of dis ease not organic, the -i i i i vt i.: ncreuuious suuun tueur ueuus. ici uio Vinegar Bitters is now the Standard Restorative of the Western World.
